Why is it that passengers must walk through a gauntlet of smokers and purveyors of "loosies" on the bus ramps leading into the waiting room?

Not only is breathing in second-hand smoke a health issue, but the congestion that these people cause impede the flow of pedestrian traffic.

I certainly realize how overburdened the police are in our community but surely something could be done or at least have signs posted cautioning against smoking and congregating in these high traffic area.
